RUSD word of the month

Prof. Gloria Ladson-Billings, a UW-Madison professor, says that RUSD’s teachers should start being more culturally relevant in the classroom.

In an attempt to help our teachers get in touch with our communities, I will be assisting them with an occasional vocabulary word on here.

This month’s word is:

UPDATE: He decided to go out with no class

Update:  Doyle suspended the train project for the time being.  If he plays a part in cancelling it altogether, I’ll take this post down.

Department of Transportation Secretary Frank Busalacchi said the suspension would last while the agency studies “the real world consequences, including the immediate impacts to people and their livelihoods, if this project were to be stopped.”

If you ask me… “the real world consequences” should have been studied (and understood) before their little secret weekend pow-wow to get this thing rammed through before the election was wrapped up.

Clearly, the voters have spoken.  Will Doyle listen?

Ytykbydkaa’s Rules for Trick or Treating in Racine:

1.  Stay within walking distance of your own damn neighborhood.  Don’t roll up on other people’s streets in your rusted out deathtrap and unload a dozen kids.  I don’t roll up in your hood and ask for my tax dollars back, do I?

2.  Your baby in the stroller is cute, but babies don’t eat candy.  They could easily choke and die.  If you ask for candy for your baby, I’ll call you out on being a crappy parent in front of all your other kids.  I will NOT hesitate with this.

3a.  If you are old enough to drive, you don’t get any candy.

3b. If you are a grown woman, going door to door with your own pillowcase full of candy… you really should be doing other things with your life than running around Trick or Treating.

4.  The “sick” brother or sister “in the car” doesn’t get any candy.  If they are healthy enough to get schlepped around “in the car”, they are healthy enough to “walk their butt up to my door and get their own candy”.

5.  No Costume = No Candy.  Being dressed up as “myself” or a “hobo” don’t count… unless you look like a really awesome hobo.

6.  The most important rule:  Say “Thank You” before you leave.
